About our 🏡Unit
Welcome to my modern and stylish 3BD/3BA duplex condo (1,700 sq ft). I've lived in this unit for the past 3 years, and your other roommate moved in back in 2023. Our unit features:
✅ Two floors, three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

✅ Fully furnished living room and kitchen
✅ In-unit washer/dryer

✅ Fireplace (getting updated soon!)

✅ Beautiful wood floors throughout the main level

✅ Shared front yard (but we pretty much have it to ourselves)
I plan on renovating the kitchen and making updates to the fireplace and bathrooms in the next year—so expect some exciting upgrades!
The Lease
✔ 6-month lease (flexible—if things don’t work out, I’m easygoing about early move-outs)
✔ Month-to-month after initial term
✔ All utilities included (gas, water, trash, electricity)
✔ Blazing fast internet (800 Mbps!)
Your Room
🛏 Size: 9’8” x 9’6” (ideal for minimal furnishings)
🛏 Can fit a full-size bed, dresser, and desk (current roommate setup)
🚿 Full bathroom (not ensuite but right next door, with a shower)
📍 Located on the main floor, while the other two bedrooms are downstairs (along with the washer/dryer)
About You
We're looking for a roommate who is:
✅ Considerate & tidy – Respectful of shared spaces (clean up after yourself, handle dishes, etc.).
✅ Open to communal cooking – I love to cook and share meals, so if you enjoy food (or at least don’t mind being around it), that’s a big win.
✅ Independent but friendly – We all do our own thing, but it’s nice to have a roommate who’s down to hang out occasionally.
👉 Preferably hybrid work or onsite, but open to fully remote.

Wicker Park
Thriving Art and Fine Dining in Chicago’s Walkable Wicker Park

In 1868 The Chicago Board of Public Health chose to create a fashionable park west of Milwaukee Avenue and south of North Avenue. An alderman, Charles Wicker, purchased 80 acres to be developed as a subdivision with a four-acre park at its center in this area. The subdivision building was begun by Chicagoans who were displaced by the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. By the end of the 19th century Wicker Park was home to many of Chicago’s wealthy Northern European immigrants who subsequently built cathedrals similar to those in Europe. The church styles included Renaissance Revival and Baroque Revival architecture. During the late 1950s, the Kennedy Expressway was built which displaced many residents and by the 1970s the city lost slightly more than 11% of its residents. At one point an area of North Avenue became a haven for prostitution, drug dealers and gangs. New affordable housing became available because of community development groups like Northwest Community Organization and by 2012 Wicker Park was named the #4 hippest hipster neighborhood in the country by Forbes.
